Want to ask if there is way to play on dxlevel 81 but with trails on? I dont need to see ubercharge and other particles like unusual and etc...I just want to see rocket trails. IF there is any command or config that i can use to activate trails on rockets or any graphic command or settings in driver or anything. I dont want to downgrade graphic driver

Thanks for the answer!

try mastercomfig which uses dx 9 and is generally believed to be better than dx8 cfgs now

alternatively if you're on AMD the trails aren't there because AMD stopped dx8 support, so you could try downgrading to an older driver that did support dx8

the only way to get trails back on dx8 is to either
1: Rollback drivers (which u said u wont do so this isnt going to work)
2: Get an Nvidia graphics card (not worth the money for rocket trails)

My advice is to use dx9 and use commands to make ur game look like dx8:
r_worldlights 0
mat_phong 0
mat_specular 0
mat_hdr_level 0
r_ambientboost 0
r_rimlight 0
mat_monitorgamma 1.9

Not sure about this and unfortunately have no way of testing this myself, but copy this file into a custom folder (or edit the one in mastercomfig if you're using my config): https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mastercoms/tf2cfg/master/mastercomfig/dxsupport_override.cfg, then under

"1"{
"name" "81"

change

 "ConVar.cl_particle_retire_cost"	"10"

to

"ConVar.cl_particle_retire_cost"	"0"
